Fort Lauderdale City Commission · City Commission Conference Meeting on 2026-09-02 1:05 PM - Sep 02, 2026 · 2 Sep 2026 meeting

I don't think we've done anything, I don't think we've done any missteps. low-confidence

The thing is they wanted a program that was defined and had detail in it and all of that, which I think was a little unfair because they just now have put this before us and we don't necessarily have an education program or whatever, museum program, whatever, to have been able to qualify based on their criteria. low-confidence

So low-confidence

So these artificial deadlines that they're creating have not helped the process. low-confidence

To be honest with you, I think they may go out to the private sector, and no one wants this building unless they're going to tear it down. low-confidence

So I don't know. low-confidence

My past reading of their interest was that they don't want it torn down. low-confidence

They would rather see it rehabilitated. low-confidence

And I have a feeling they may just come back to us and say, OK, what can we do here? low-confidence

I don't want to, honestly, Vice Mayor, I don't know whether we should push this until, you know, I don't know who else wants this building. low-confidence

The only people that would want this building is someone like us, if we could get it at a reduced price to be able to adapt it to the kinds of uses that we've been talking about. low-confidence

What are your low-confidence

We can understand what restrictions, what the decovenants, restrictions, all those type of things may or may not be. low-confidence

We can then define the work program a little bit more, work with GSA and negotiations to figure out what that dollar figure would be, low-confidence

to the commission low-confidence

THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME. low-confidence

HOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE COMMISSION? low-confidence

stepping out of my area of expertise, but we do have Trish Logan working with GSA right now. low-confidence

They're doing, I think, a 106 study on the building to determine low-confidence

there's a different administration now with a different point of view. low-confidence
